Don't you wish your childhood imaginary friend could come to life and help you sort out your adult problems? What if he's a zany British man with crazy red hair and an intense thirst for only the messiest of hijinks? Is the film a serious study of mental illness? Or is it just an excuse to see a full-grown man go completely bonkers and rub dog shit all over your mom's brand new carpet? The true motive remains to be seen. And if you really believe that Carrie Fisher's character lives on a houseboat, and no ordinary houseboat, but a true Huck Finn-style Mississippi Paddle Steamer, then I suppose you're "all in" for the rest of the situations this film proposes. This week, grab a bucket, mop, and some paper towels cause it's the messy weirdness known as Drop Dead Fred!
